Verizon is testing a web-on-TV service in about 1-million homes nationwide. The service, available to customers who subscribe to the Fiber Optics feature, will allow users to watch YouTube, Break.com, Blip.TV, and Veoh videos on-demand from home televisions.  Intel unveiled their powerful new chip, which analysts believe is aimed at taking down rivals Nvidia and AMD. The chip, nicknamed Larrabee, has 12 to 48 electronic brains and will smoothly run high-end graphics for video games and animated media. The chip will be available for the public by the end of 2009. And Amazon’s electronic book reader, the Kindle, has sold 240-thousand units. At a cost of 399-dollars per Kindle, the machine has generated nearly 100-million dollars for the website. Amazon plans on building on Kindle's success with the release of an electronic displayer for textbooks and it will be targeted at college students. The commissioner of the NYPD, Ray Kelly, has encouraged New Yorkers to upload videos... in order to fight crime. Kelly is asking the public to upload video clips and still images that could possibly help in criminal investigations, especially because most people have a camera on their cell phones.
